EX. ORD. NO. 13193. FEDERAL LEADERSHIP ON GLOBAL
TOBACCO CONTROL AND PREVENTION
Ex. Ord. No. 13193, Jan. 18, 2001, 66 F.R. 7387, provided:
By the authority vested in me as President by the
Constitution and the laws of the United States of
America, it is hereby ordered as follows:
SECTION 1. Policy. It shall be the policy of the executive
branch to take strong action to address the potential
global epidemic of diseases caused by tobacco use.
The executive branch shall undertake activities to increase
its capacity to address global tobacco prevention
and control issues through coordinated domestic
action, limited bilateral assistance to individual naPage
419 TITLE 22—FOREIGN RELATIONS AND INTERCOURSE § 2102
tions, and support to multilateral organizations. International
activities shall be directed towards deterring
children from tobacco use, protecting nonsmokers, and
providing information about the adverse health effects
of tobacco use and the health benefits of cessation.
SEC. 2. Responsibilities of Federal Departments and
Agencies. (a) Tobacco Trade Policy. In the implementation
of international trade policy, executive departments
and agencies shall not promote the sale or export
of tobacco or tobacco products, or seek the reduction
or removal of foreign government restrictions on
the marketing and advertising of such products, provided
that such restrictions are applied equally to all
tobacco or tobacco products of the same type. Departments
and agencies are not precluded from taking necessary
actions in accordance with the requirements and
remedies available under applicable United States
trade laws and international agreements to ensure nondiscriminatory
treatment of United States products.
Nothing in this Executive Order shall be construed (1)
to modify the annual executive branch guidance to
United States diplomatic posts on health, trade, and
commercial aspects of tobacco, or (2) to affect any negotiating
position of the United States on the Framework
Convention on Tobacco Control.
(b) The Department of Health and Human Services’
(HHS) Role in Tobacco Trade Policy Deliberations. The
HHS shall be included in all deliberations of interagency
working groups, chaired by the United States
Trade Representative (USTR), that address issues relating
to trade in tobacco and tobacco products.
Through such participation, HHS shall advise the
USTR, and other interested Federal agencies, of the potential
public health impact of any tobacco-related
trade action that is under consideration. Upon conclusion
of a trade agreement that includes provisions specifically
addressing tobacco or tobacco products, the
USTR shall produce and make publicly available a
summary describing those provisions.
(c) International Tobacco Control Needs Assessment.
The HHS, with the cooperation of the Departments of
State, Commerce, and Agriculture, and in consultation
with the appropriate national Ministry of Health, shall
conduct a pilot assessment of tobacco use in a country
other than the United States. Such assessment will be
carried out through a compilation and review of surveys
and other needs assessments already available and
include:
(1) initial estimates of the burden of disease and
other public health consequences of tobacco use;
(2) the status of tobacco control regulatory measures
in place to curtail tobacco consumption and tobacco related
disease; and
(3) an analysis of the marketing, distribution, and
manufacturing practices of tobacco companies in given
regions, and the impact of those practices on smoking
rates, particularly among women and children. Such
assessment shall be prepared and provided to interested
agencies and other parties not later than December 31,
2001, and be updated as practicable.
(d) Research and Training in Tobacco Control. The
HHS will develop a research and training program linking
institutions in the United States and certain other
countries in the field of tobacco control. Emphasis will
be placed on the collection of standardized and comparable
surveillance data; networks for communication,
information and best practices; and the development
and evaluation of culturally-targeted approaches
to preventing tobacco use and increasing quit rates, especially
among women and children.
SEC. 3. General. (a) Executive departments and agencies
shall carry out the provisions of this order to the
extent permitted by law and consistent with their statutory
and regulatory authorities and their enforcement
mechanisms.
(b) This order clarifies and strengthens Administration
policy and does not create any right or benefit,
substantive or procedural, enforceable at law by a
party against the United States, its officers or employees,
or any other person.
WILLIAM J. CLINTON.
